Beis Shammai say: She may marry, and she receives her kesubah; [but] Beis Hillel say: She may marry, but she does not receive her kesubah. Beis Shammai said to them: You permitted the grave ervah [offense], but you will not permit the less grave money [offense]? Beis Hillel replied: We find that the brothers do not inherit the estate on her testimony. Beis Shammai replied: We can learn [this] from her kesubah document, in which he writes to her, “If you marry another you shall receive what is written to you.” Beis Hillel recanted [and began] to rule like Beis Shammai.

Everyone is believed to testify for her, except for her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law's daughter, her co-wife, her sister-in-law, and her husband's daughter. Why is there a difference between [testi- mony concerning] a bill of divorce and [testimony concerning] death? Because the document is proof.  [If] one witness said, “He died,” and she remarried, and then another came and said, “He did not die” —- she need not be discharged. [If] one witness said, “He died,” and two [witnesses] said, “He did not die” —- even if she remarried she must be discharged. [If] two [witnesses] said, “He died,” and one witness said, “He did not die” —- even if she had not remarried, she may do so.
